THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

How my parents found South America
My parents have just returned from their trip to South America, declaring that they are very lucky to live where they do under the government they live under. In Guatemala children run around naked and 5 year olds have to get jobs shining shoes. In Guatemala shops do not open their doors to you for fear of robbery and only open a window asking what you want. Cuba was the most civilised, cleanest place with the most honest people. This was probably due to its rejection of America, my father said.
